We all have faults, but what we perceive as our faults can be assets if examined, flipped, and put to good use!!

for example, as I have noted before I tend toward the stubborn

BUT

flip that around and I am persistent, thorough, and not easily influenced (by dumm stuff like TV and trashy news articles or bad nurses)happy


so find fault with yourself and flip it - what good things do your faults say about you????

What an intriguing posting! I think the very fact that we can accept our faults gives us a greater understanding of our inner self: the person who never made a mistake never made a darned thing. :smile:

Very interesting post, thanks!

It has been said that I am a 'worry wort', looking for the worst that can happen. Flip that and it means I look at a situation from many angles and am prepared for outcomes different than the desired one. I have a plan if plans go awry. This allows me to feel secure to try new things or do old things differently. It has also on occasion meant that I am the one prepared to act to save the day! bigsmile

I have a tendency to focus to much on my faults. The flip side is, I'm focusing on learning and not making the same mistakes over and over.

Yeah, I was in a counseling group one time and said I was stubborn, meaning I don't give up easily, and everybody piled on me saying I shouldn't be putting myself down. NObody understood where I was coming from.

I tend to be on the quiet side (is that a bad thing?). on the flip side it keeps me from saying a lot of stupid crap. (no, don't ask Leigh about that part whoa )

right. that's exactly where I am coming from here....many things we look at as faults in ourselves or others have a "flip" side!!

I hope the group moderator gave u a chance to explain.......waving
